A little disappointed.
"They run much larger than expected and feel quite heavy. They didn't quite meet my expectations, so 3 stars"

The Brass Boot combines robust leathers, rugged outsoles, and all-day comfort. The moc toe is hand-sewn onto a one-piece vamp. The Floyd last features the same locked-in heel control but with higher walls at the toe box to allow forefoot freedom.
Chromexcel leather tanned by Horween in Chicago is incredibly resilient while offering unparalleled character. The hot-stuffed tannage's natural oils and waxes create an unmistakable pull-up effect and supple feel.
This boot utilizes our lug sole, which is designed for harsher conditions. The taller lugs and medium-density compound offer a combination of traction and durability.

Made with
Goodyear-welt Construction
Renowned for its durability and ability to be resoled repeatedly, Goodyear-welt construction involves stitching a welt—a strip of leather—around the shoe's perimeter, creating a cavity. After filling the cavity with the shank and cork, the sole is attached, providing strength and water resistance. This construction method results in shoes that are not only long-lasting but also easily repairable, making them a timeless investment in quality craftsmanship.
Utilizing our
Floyd Last
The Floyd Last is a modified version of the Leo and shares many of the same features: a moderate arch, heel control, medial support, and forefront freedom. In contrast to its progeniture, the Floyd last features a taller, more voluminous toe box, providing a classic Americana workwear look.

Reviews
Initially ordered a half size
"Initially ordered a half size down from Brannock as recommended, but had to exchange for a full size down. The exchange was incredibly quick and easy. The boots fit perfectly and are extremely comfortable. The quality is excellent and absolutely live up to Grant Stone's reputation. Will absolutely be picking up another pair."
What a Boot
"I love these Boots: Recommended Size matches perfectly, fantastic Quality of Material. Great Craftsmanship. Unbeatable Price for what you get. For other interested parties: The boots are quite heavy. You either have to like that, or be used to it."
Shoes

Very fine and high quality
"Very fine and high quality boots. Excellent craftsmanship. Fits perfectly and comfortable from day one. I have Allen Edmonds boots and Grant Stone is way better."
Great boot
"Great boot. The wider toe box is particularly comfortable. Very stylish and suitable for the office and casual occasions."
Incredible quality and customer service!
"These boots are amazing! They run a little big so we had to use our free exchange for a smaller size, but the customer service was INCREDIBLE! Our boots got hung up at a fedex warehouse due to the ice storm and Grant Stone could see this and went ahead and sent the new boots out to us! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Grant Stone! The boots are incredible quality and packaged with such intentional care! We will definitely recommend our friends and shop with them in the future!"
"Beautiful boot. Clearly well made. Runs large conpared to diesel and had to size down by a full size from my brannock size. Fits like an Alden Trubulance last for comparison."
Beautiful finishing, fantastic look, and
"Beautiful finishing, fantastic look, and comfortable fit after break in."
Burly Luxury
"Wonderful, sturdy boot! The leather has an incredible smell to it and every piece feels like burly luxury."
Q&A
- I typically wear a size 10 in sneaker size. My feet are a bit wide, though I usually don't buy wide shoes. I recently tried on a pair of Red Wing Iron Ranger, and found size 9 regular to be the best fit. While it was a bit snug on the sides, with a bit of stretching I assume it would fit correctly. What size might you recommend in the Grant Brass boots?
- Good morning Mario, Thank you for reaching out. I have emailed you regarding your sizing question. I am happy to help. If you have further questions you can email me at info@grantstoneboot.com.
- Question on ankle width on this Floyd last: does it get wider in an E width than a D width?
- While there is some additional length of the collar, it is negligible and one really wouldn't notice the difference.
- I wear a 10.5 D in Thursday Boots. Should I order the same size in Brass Boot Black Chromexcel? Thank you!
- If you find your Thursday Boots fit nicely than the majority of our customers would order a half size down in our Grant Stone collection. Customers who fit snug in Thursday Boots, the majority of them wear the same size in our Grant Stone footwear as size for size we will provide more overall volume. We hope your footwear fits well (not snug) and provides enough volume to spread out naturally without having to force your way in through break in. We offer wider widths in the case of needing more width, depth, and length altogether.
- Hi there! Just wondering if this is considered a tea-core Chromexcel or if it's true black? Thanks so much!
- Thanks for inquiring! Horween does not call this tea core and it has a tan base. Horween has a milled struck through version but this is not that. You will begin to see a tan base through wear.
- Where does one buy replacement laces for these boots?
- Are you referring to the black cotton boot laces for the Black Brass Boot? We can send you an invoice by email to complete. I'm assuming you are in the US? I sent an invoice for you to complete if you're shipping within the contiguous US.
